This book was a nice quick read, but it was too cheesy and new-agey for my liking. There were moments where I wanted to like the book, but I never quite got there. It's all about trying to make your dreams come true no matter what you have to sacrifice (and the protagonist makes some pretty ridiculous sacrifices along the way).

Everyone I've talked to either loved it or didn't. I didn't hate it, but I also wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
